This paper analyzes "wh"-questions in the English Language based mainly on Chomsky's Minimalist Programme of transformational grammar as the theoretical model. The four main objectives of this paper are as follows: first, it undertakes a cross linguistic typological analysis of "wh"-questions and it then discusses the derivation of "wh"-interrogatives in English. The discussion on the derivation of "wh"-questions focuses on Head-to-Head movement and operator movement as the two transformations used to derive "wh"-interrogatives in the language. Second, the paper evaluates the pied-piping of bi-lexical and multi-lexical "wh"-phrases in English. Third, the derivation of direct and indirect "wh"-questions in embedded clauses are also discussed. Finally, the constraints on "wh"-movement are identified and analyzed with copious examples.
